I made this disk from my home XP disk that has no service packs. I know the slipstreamed disk is OK as I recovered another PC with it. Next I put in the original XP disk no service acks and sfc /scannow worked. Tried to do same with wifes XP pro and it will not work from the slip stream Pro disk even though it was installed originally from a SP2 disk tried that and it did not work either. So does sfc /scannow only work with non service pack disks? As for me disks with the service packs do not work. Thanks :illogical	gary67 (56)

The CD is only required if at any stage it needs files from it. I have discovered that sometimes CD's wont work where original XP CD's will.	wainuitech (129)
